It was thought that he might be stay- | ‘ing with his mother and a message | [wgw sent to her. She replied that she | had expected him on Thanksgiving | day, but he did not come to see her. An examination of Berry's books shows that they are correct and his | emplovers give him a good name. Mrs. J. A. Berry of 2614 Dana street, Berkeley, mother of the missing man, has no idea what has become of her son and is much worried. Two weeks before Thanksgiving day he called to see her in Berkeley, but she was t home. A week later he again cal ar her rooms, but again she was absent. On Thanksgiving day Mrs. Minor, at whaose - place Mrs. Berry boards, met him on Market street in | San Francisco. Mrs. Berry came to this eity and visited her son's room on Saturday, but nd it unoccupied | al with no indications of its hav- ing been occupied for some time. Everything! was in its place.

She came to me in my office here and said she was grateful for all that I had { done for her and that she wished me tc accept a present from her. She then offered me $100,000 in four notes of $25,000. “The notes were drawn by her and she declared that they were as good as gold. They may have been, for I know that her notes for -similar amounts had been negotiated in banks in this city and had been taken up at maturity. Of course, as an officer of the bank I could not accept such a present and remain in the institution. I was compelled either to resign or de- cline the present and I declined the notes.” STAND BY REYNOLDS. The directors of the Wade Park Bank have to' a man determined to stand by Secretary Reynolds and insist that he remain with the bank. He has of- fered repeatedly to resign during the {1ast two weeks, but the directors have refused to. accept the resignation and d‘eclare that he shall retain his posi- tion. Both the Federal and State authori- ties have united in the determination to keep Mrs. Chadwick behind prison- bars_until ghe.is brought before either the Federal Grand Jury or the Grand Judy of this county to answer to the charges against her. United States District _ Attorney Sulllvan to-day wired to New York officials suggesting that if bondsmen appear for Mrs. Chadwick to-morrow the amount of bond in which she is now held be in- creased to 325,000 or $50,000, if neces- sary to keep her in jail It is ex- plained that the authorities have pow- er to increase or decrease the amount of bond as they see fit. In addition to suggesting a bond in- crease and the kind of bond, other steps have been taken calculated ab- solutely to prevent Mrs. Chadwick se- curing her freedom before she has been brought to trial. DR. CHADWICK IS FOUND. PARIS, Dec. 12.—Dr. Leroy S. Chad- wick was found and interviewed by the New York World correspondent at his hotel here vesterday. Chadwick, who seemed to be under great mervous ten- sion, said positively that he knew and had khown nothing of his wife’s “al- leged business transactions,” and that the revelations concerning them and 0 the procession ( her had “all come as a horrible shock” | fwas re-formed, amid murmurs of 'ove |, him, So far as he knew Mrs. Chad-| wick did not know Andrew Carnegie and has never even met him. Nevertheless the doctor resented the comparison of his wife's transactions | with those of Mme. Humbert, and said | he belleved Mrs. Chadwick simply ne- gotiated paper she thought was good. This important interview was not ob- tained easily. The World’s correspond- ent learned the hotel where Dr. Chad- wick and a child by his first wife are stopping. He called up the doctor on the telephone and asked him to grant an interview. “Come to see me,” Chadwick an- swered. “But how will I know you?” Then he added in a weak, nervous volce, “I will carry a white handker- chief in my right hand, and you do likewise.” YOUTHFUL IN APPEARANCE. The correspondent found a young- looking man, seemingly not more than 30 years of age, sitting in the place ap- pointed. So youthful was his appear- ance that his visitor would not have suspected he was Chadwick. Chadwick had a copy of a Paris newspaper contalning his wife’s por- trait. The picture showed & handsome woman, but after regarding it fixedly he exclaimed: “That's not her picture; she is much better looking. “She ip no way needed money," he continued. “My daughter Mary, who is with me, is 19 yegrs old, so she fully appreciates what all this means to me. Like me, she is greatly shocked by the newspaper reports, nor can she under- stand why Andrew Carnegie’s name figures so largely. I saw my wife last just prior to November 15. She looked and behaved as usual.” “Did .your daughter last month cable | to Iri Reynolds, the Cieveland banker, asking for money?” “That is something I will not deny or affirm,” answered Chadwick. “If Rey- nolds wishes to talk about the incident he can.” Chadwick is an extremely weak man, who could easily be controlled, even hypnotized, by a strong woman. He never let from his hand the newspaper which had giyen him the opportunity to mention that his wife is good-look- ing. / WILL REMAIN "N JAIL NEW YORK, Dec. 11.—From present indications it is extremely unlikely that any attempt will be made to obtain bail for Mrs. Chadwick, who has been in the Tombs since last Thursday night on a charge of aiding and abetting bank of- ficlals in the embezzlement of $12,600. She is held under $15,000 bail. A person who is in a pesition to know the vari- ous moves in the Chadwick case spoke as follows to-day: Despite all reports to the contrary, no active efforts have been made to obtain bail for Mrs. Chadwick in this city. There are plenty of people Lere who weuld sign her bond if asked, but the fact Is it is not deemed advisable for Mrs, Cladwick to leave the City Prison at present. If she were released on bail the Gov- ernment could demand twenty-four hours in Which {o examine her surety. Meanwhils the Government _attorneys could telegraph the Cleveland authorities and before the twenty- four hours expired could have additional charges sent here so that it would be necessary to_procure new bail. This procedure could be carried out as long s the Government officials thought they had ‘harges. Again there might come n conflict in authority. A county Grand Jury might find an indictment against Mrs. Chadwick and then the matter of extradition would come up in a differert light frcm any yet suggested. I am of the opinion that Mrs. Chadwick will remain quietly in the Tombs for the present. Her examination is sot for next Saturday be- fore United States Commissioner Shields. In case Mrs. Chadwick Js held for the Federal | Grand Jury it is not at all unlikely that_one of the gréatest legal battles fought in New York wili follow. A lawyer who has been connected with the recent financial difficulties, in answer to the report that steps might be eventually taken to cempel the re- turn of Dr. Chadwick to this country, said: i Any person who says that Dr. Chadwick can be brouslt back (o the United States against his will use he gave Herbert D.

It Wwould have been Impossible in 8o short a time 1o negotiats such a large joan on the strensth of that note, and it is highly probable that if she Qid give her husband that money she had bona fide security. I believe jt most uniikely that any attempt will ever be made to bring Dr. Chadwick back on any such hypothesis. Those who kngw him best believe that whatever wealth he has he acquired honestly. Mrs. Chadwick passed a quiet day in the Tombs. The prison physician lo\xnd‘ her in excellent health. | United States District Attorney Bur- | nett was quoted to-night as having said that should bondsmen appear to give bond for Mrs. Chadwick he would use his influence with United States Commissioner Shields to have the bail increased from $15,000, the amount now fixed. | An incident which may have some significance occurred to-day when a number of reporters at the Tombs ad- dressed a note to Mrs. Chadwick, ask- ing If she would make a statement and also when she expected to be released. To this she returned the word “To- morrow.” The newspaper men . wera puzzied as to this answer. Believing that she had finally declded to waive examination and go to Cleveland, they attempted to clear up this point through the medium of another note, but the officers of the Tombs would not permit it to be taken to Mrs. Chad- | wick. i Andrew Carnegie declined to talk to- day regarding his possible appearance as a witness in the case, or as to other developments in which his name has been mentioned. I ELUDES WOMAN'S LURE. { NEWCASTLE, Pa; Dec. 11—Mrs. ' Cassie L. Chadwick made an unsuc- cessful attempt to secure the indorse- ! -ment of Lewis 8. Hoyt, vice president of the Citizens’ National Bank of this city, to two drafts for $19,000 and $39.- 009, respectively, while Dr. and Mrs. Chadwick were touring Mexico, accord- ing to a story given out here to-night. At Hoyt's home the story was con- firmed. A party of local people, including Hoyt, were traveling there at the same time. Mrs. Chadwick introduced the subject of finance to Hoyt, it is said, and showed certain drafts and wanted to know how she could obtain money upon them. g “By being identified at any bank,’ Hoyt explained. Then Mrs. Chadwick asked Hoyt to identify her at some San Francisco bank when they arrived In that city. Hoyt refused to place his signature on $58,000 worth of paper. Mrs, Chadwick’s explanation of her desire to cash the drafts, according to the story, was that she might wish to purchase real estate in Mexico. PITTSBURG. Dec. 11.—The man sus- pected of being the Pittsburg million- aire who accommodated Mrs. Chadwick with méney has succeeded in foiling every attempt to interview him on the subject. It is believed a statement will bs made by him to-morrow.
